Two of the reasons the DSLF is asking for DHCP Auth to be considered by the IETF are that:
(1) PANA does not meet IPAuth-14 "Must allow for authentication and download of subscriber service profile before service IP address is assigned." IPAuth14 is from the earlier DSLF liaison document to which Mark referred. (2) Standard 802.1x was driven by security between physical Ethernet ports. The extension work on 802.1af needed for credentials to traverse a DSLAM will not be available in needed timeframes. I expect there will be providers who can use PANA & existing 802.1x. However these are not the use cases the DSLF is requesting assistance upon.
